What, you’re just going to judge them based on their decades of previous behaviour?!

Someone better make a fuck_planes magazine at this rate.

Vitamin d, fish oil, magnesium, sulphoraphane (through broccoli sprouts)

Are there any sites in the Fediverse written in .net? I’d like to contribute to these sites, but I haven’t touched PHP in over a decade.

I think awards might be a good source of revenue though?

This speaks to how bad Google has gotten IMO - I do it too.

I’m not convinced you need corporate money though. I think grants/user contributions (add the awards concept like Reddit has?) can get you pretty far a la Wikipedia.

I don’t want corporate social media full stop. As soon as there is a profit motive things will always slowly decay.

I just hope it’s viable to survive on grants/donors a la Wikipedia. Add some “awards” like on reddit, and that should help as well.

Yeah, the odd hangs are a little iffy (subscribing and upvoting). Though I actually like the UI so far since it’s very clean. If I care enough I could always implement my own custom CSS using the “Stylus” extension in chrome/edge.

I tend to agree. Just not sure comparing Lemmy to Mastodon is fair, since they seems like different platforms (eg. Reddit vs. Twitter).

Well that’s cool as hell - thanks for the info.

I just hope this is the start of an internet renaissance with less corporate control.

Yeah only way I see it working is if it’s more of a peer to peer / torrenting concept. As in while you use it, you are “seeding” other videos / content as well.

Sucks that the UI doesn’t auto-link that for you.

My hope is that things like Chat GPT can now become that source. I can only assume all those historical posts were used as training data.

I mean it seems so obvious in retrospect I suppose. I hope we’re looking a the start of a real renascence for the internet, away from corporate overlords.
